AB2792 would require local law enforcement agencies to promptly notify inmates and their lawyers if immigration authorities are told of the inmate’s release date. The bill also requires jail staff to tell inmates that interviews with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are voluntary.

The bill continues years of tangling between California and federal authorities over immigration policies.

The Senate’s 26-10 vote sends the bill back to the Assembly.

California Gov. Jerry Brown will decide if police should be required to record interrogations of murder suspects.

The Senate voted 32-6 on Thursday to send the measure to the Democratic governor.

Since 2014, California has required video or audio recording when police interview minors.

Civil rights groups say false confessions due to coercive interrogations are one of the leading causes of wrongful convictions.

The measure is opposed by a variety of law enforcement groups, which say the measure may make juries give less weight to confessions made in unrecorded interviews. They also say it’s an unfunded mandate from the state.

The Senate approved the bill in a 38-0 vote two days after it cleared the Assembly without opposition.

Californians whose employers don’t already offer a way to prepare for retirement would be automatically enrolled in a state-run savings plan under a bill advancing in the Legislature.

Democratic Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon of Los Angeles is seeking to establish the program for an estimated 6.8 million California workers who can’t invest through their employers. People could choose to opt out.

The Assembly voted 47-23 Thursday to send SB1234 to the Senate.

A state board created four years ago determined that the plan is generally legal and financially workable. The U.S. Department of Labor gave states an official go-ahead Thursday to create payroll deduction IRA programs like the one California is eyeing.

Business organizations say it could burden the state with undetermined costs and employers with liabilities.
